Aims and Scope

Dear colleagues,

Chronic and degenerative disease (CDD) are rapidly rising. A strategy is urgently needed to prevent and control CDDs. Deeply ingrained in the overall lifestyle of contemporary society, dietary habits represent a significant determinant of health and longevity. In this context, increasing importance is attributed to the role of the Mediterranean diet as a means to prolong both healthspan and lifespan.

The Italian Mediterranean diet represents a cornerstone in the realm of nutrition and health. Rooted in centuries-old culinary traditions of the Mediterranean region, it embodies a balanced and wholesome approach to eating, emphasizing the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive oil, along with a moderate intake of fish, dairy, and red wine. Its nutritional composition, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, has been extensively studied and associated with numerous health benefits, including reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, the Italian Mediterranean diet transcends mere nutrition, serving as a cultural heritage and a way of life that fosters social connections and conviviality around shared meals. As societies worldwide grapple with rising rates of chronic diseases and obesity, the Italian Mediterranean diet stands as a beacon of healthful eating, offering a compelling model for promoting longevity and well-being. Its value extends beyond individual health outcomes to encompass environmental sustainability, as it emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal foods and traditional cooking methods.

The effects of diet compounds on metabolic pathways related to CDDs are currently under investigation, and it is leading traditional nutritional counseling to a more complex approach based on omic sciences, opening a new perspective on nutrition science.

I invite authors to submit original research and review articles that address the progress and current understanding on body composition, bioactive molecules, gene polymorphism, gene expression, plasma lipidome, microbiota and different interactions on absorption, transport and nutrient metabolism, to support the protective role of personalized Mediterranean diet in disease prevention and therapy.

Aims and Scope

Magnetic Fields are mostly used in today’s life, as well as in specific occupational environments. Biomedical imaging has been an essential tool in daily medical diagnostics. For more than 100 years, various biomedical imaging technologies have been developed to provide anatomical, functional and molecular information of internal organs, among which optical imaging and ultrasound imaging have been two major modalities. Being distinct in fundamental physics, optical imaging and ultrasound imaging have been explored by different research communities. In recent decades, the emergence of magnetomotive photoacoustic imaging (mmPA) modality has opened the way for integrating optical and ultrasound merits, i.e., rich optical contrast and deep ultrasound resolution. PAI has experienced an exponential increase in both research and industrial communities.

These achievements include but are not limited to: mmPA microscopy, mmPA tomography, mmPA endoscopy, mmPA intravascular probe, contrast-enhanced mmPA, and related physics, system and algorithm designs. Photoacoustic (or optoacoustic) imaging, including photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), is an emerging imaging modality with great clinical potential. PAI’s deep tissue penetration and fine spatial resolution also hold great promise for visualizing physiology and pathology at the molecular level. PA combines optical contrast with the ultrasonic resolution and is capable of imaging at depths of up to 7 cm with a real-time scalable spatial resolution of 10 to 500 µm. PAI has demonstrated applications in brain imaging and cancer imaging such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, oval cancer, etc.

This Special Issue focuses on the novel technological developments and pre-clinical and clinical biomedical applications of PA.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Brain imaging
  • Electromagnetic Bio Effects
  • Electromagnetic Field Modelling
  • Cancer imaging
  • Image reconstruction
  • Quantitative imaging
  • Light source and delivery for PAI
  • Photoacoustic detector
  • Nanoparticles designed for PAI
  • Photoacoustic molecular imaging
  • Photoacoustic spectroscopy
  • Biomedical imaging
  • Photoacoustic imaging
  • Thermo-acoustic imaging
  • Optical imaging
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Acoustics
  • Biophotonics

 

Deadline and Submission Guidelines

The submission deadline for all papers is June 30, 2023.

Please, submit your article on https://www.publishingmanager.org/ by checking the box “Magnetomotive Photoacoustic In Biomedical Applications”. All articles will undergo a peer-review process as regularly submitted papers. The Fee for publication is Euro 1400,00.

Call for papers: gut microbiota and chronic non-communicable diseases

Aims and Scope

The term “gut microbiota” refers to the community of micro-organisms that colonize the human gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiota is considered a well-known complex ecosystem composed of distinct microbial populations, playing a crucial role in human health. Several factors, such as type of birth, dietary habits, age, consumption of probiotics and prebiotics, use of antibiotics, intestinal comorbidities, and even metabolic diseases may continuously alter microbiota composition and its functions. The negative modulation of gut microbiota composition induces the dysbiosis condition. In fact, increasing evidence suggests that an imbalanced gut microbial composition and its activity, together with increased intestinal permeability, are able to cause alteration of several metabolic pathways and of the immune-system responses, contributing to developing several non-communicable chronic degenerative diseases (NCCDDs) (i.e., obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension, obesity, chronic kidney diseases, neurodegenerative disorders).

Currently, the specific role of foods and their metabolites in the pathogenesis of these pathological conditions are yet to be established and the benefits of specific nutritional interventions, as suggested by pre-clinical trials, have not been fully determined.

This Special Issue will collect original articles and reviews focused on better understanding the role of gut microbiota composition on NCCDDs onset and progression.

Topics covered should include:

  • gut microbiota;
  • Mediterranean diet;
  • chronic non-communicable diseases;
  • metabolic pathways;
  • chronic kidney disease;
  • neurodegenerative diseases.

 

Deadline and Submission Guidelines

The submission deadline for all papers is June 30, 2022.

Please, submit your article on https://www.publishingmanager.org/ by checking the box “Special Issue – Gut Microbiota and Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases”. All articles will undergo a peer-review process as regularly submitted papers. The Fee for publication is Euro 1400,00.
